That would be a return to Manchester United, where he had played from 2011 until his contract was allowed to run down in June 2023.
After a year of waiting for the right opportunity, the Spaniard was tempted back to the field by Fiorentina as a free agent in the summer of 2024.
His contract runs to June 2028 and there is an option to extend for a further year, so unless a call comes from Old Trafford, he ought to see out his playing career at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
